Good morning Gents,
I have had a Touch HD for a while now and used your site for all sorts of info but there is something i am struggling with and after searches on here and google and other places i can't seem to find an answer.
I wanted to flash my device using one of the ROM's posted on here but i have noticed that most are now stating they user 6.5 rather than 6.1.
Now my question is, can i flash a 6.5 ROM onto my device or do i need to upgrade the operating system to 6.5 first?
If that's the case, where can you get 6.5 from as it doesn't seem to be released yet?! I have read the No Warez point in the posting rules so don't get yourself in trouble if it's done using slightly dodgy sites, i can do that legwork myself.
Thanks for your help with this cos it's driving me nuts!
The ROMS include the software.
All you have to do is make sure your spl is correct.
Best thing to do is follow crackwhores guide, here;

WM6.5 is not official released yet. All wm6.5 roms on this forum are using leaked builds.
To flash wm6.5 onto your device read and follow this guide. All future flashing related queries should be directed to that thread.

Hello there...
I ordered my herald...actually a p4350 and i will be receiving it in a few days..
But as i know it will come with WM5 installed.
So,
i am trying to understand the procedures explained here but..
Theres some modified roms as i see.
So what should be the path to follow...
Upgrading to WM6 from htc's webpage ? or is there any modified wm6 images around?
And what is rom called for? A kind of theme that should be installed after upgrading?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance..
The best advice each one of us could give you is to start reading the posts your interested in. Make sure you have read enough to know what you are going to do and what to do when it goes wrong.
If your Herald comes packed with WM5 and you simply want to upgrade it to WM6, the best way to do this is by downlaoding the official RUU (Rom Upgrading Utility) for the HTC website (europe.htc.com).
If you're familiar with WM6 and you want to use a customized package then start reading the posts on how to upgrade, the (im)possibilities and it's pro's and cons. Start with reading the topics by ITje on how to upgrade to his rom. The latest version is Touch-IT V3 for Herald/P4350.
Make sure you have the official RUU before you start upgrading to the customized ROM, because you need that one incase you brick your Herald (means something went wrong during upgrade and it isn't working anymore).
All the answers to any question you might have can be found in these forum's. To make sure you don't piss of people or ask redundant question search the forum until you're desperate before you ask something.
Good luck!
I would really appreciate it if someone could answer a few of these questions. I tried searching, but I couldnt find them.
Why is there a seperate hearald mobile 6 thread? Is there a difference? And how do you get windows mobile 6.1? I couldn't find a download for that.
Also, is installing something like touch IT just a faster way to install a bunch of different cabs? I'm asking because I wanted to know if I could just download the cabs I wanted and not have to download a whole pack. And what is hard-spl? I've seen the forum for it but it gives no clue on what it really is.
Herald mobile 6 is for discussions regarding windows mobile 6 on herald (herald is default wm5, while wing is wm6), whereas rom development is for discussion in regards to roms.
To get wm6.1, install a wm6.1 rom (read the stickies for instructions on installing roms).
While custom roms do include fixes that can be installed via cabs, they are also built on new bases that are faster or more stable than the present ones. These cannot be installed via cab.
Hard-SPL is a way of getting around the CID lock on the phone that prevents it from being flashed with custom roms. It is more or less permanent.
This is your free noob question. Welcome to the forums
thanks so much for your reply
i'm sorry, but there are still a few more things I wanted to ask, if you don't mind.
I understand hard-spl, but what is soft-spl? and what is a radio? also, is there a reason for choosing one rom over the other, other than personal preference? and whats an ipl?
If these are really obvious questions, please point me to a thread I could read up on. I've modded razrs and iphones, but I haven't done anything as complicated as a wm device.

I explain the differences between HardSPL and USPL in this thread.
A radio is... how do i explain this... the GSM software on the device? Put it this way, the newer the Radio, the better reception and phone quality you will get, usualy.
When it comes down to choosing between ROMs, its all personal preference, I strongly recommend trying the Open Touch V4.0 Biggy.
Please search and read, all of your answer can be found that way. Just like we all did.
thanks so much everyone, hopefully when i get on track I can help out newer noobs
Hello,
I am new to this site, I've read and read about the cooked ROMS for the HTC phones. I'm anxious for the 6.1 update to come out for AT&T, anyone know when this will come out? I know that the TyTn II update came out, but when I log into HTC's website, it's nowhere to be found. However, if I decide to go with a Cooked ROM, can someone direct me to what I first need to do to prepare my phone for it, and where I can load the latest Cooked ROM?
Also, anyone who was scared to brick their phone and did the Cooked ROM how is it and what do you recommend?
One last thing, if I do load a cooked ROM on my phone, and AT&T releases the 6.1 update, I could easily update it with that correct?
Any help is appreciated.
...................... Ok. Search through this site and read!! It will tell you how to do everything. I hereby introduced you to the flaming...
I've read through the thread that was posted today, but was curious if I needed to install a cooked rom or if I could install this on the AT&T ROM. I want to know the success of this because I don't want to brick my phone. Thanks.
When it comes to technology, nothing is forever. You can flash a different cooked rom and always flash back to the original state. Once again search. Everyone has different flavors so you are bound to get different opinions on which ROM is suitable for you. Go to the Kaiser-Rom and Developement thread and look around. Read Read Read. When you feel comfortable attempt a ROM upgrade.
P.S.
Why would you want to flash a 6.1 ROM on the HTC site (whenever it comes out)
Their are chefs on this forum that make way better ROMs withougt all the junk apps nobody uses. Just my 2 cents.
I think we can close this thread now.
which rom are you using? On my tilt, I just have the WM 6.0 not the 6.1. I've tried the HTC site, and I've read that it's out, but nowhere to be found on HTC's site. I've signed up as a e-club member. But I'll keep looking.

Asking people to give you an opinion on the best ROMs is against forum rules. Not to be a stickler, but as it is peoples opinions, there are likely to be many different views as to which ROM is best. The best thing is to read this thread to be sure you have set up your phone correctly. You have 2 choices, either going the USPL or the HSPL route. You will see the pros and cons of each route in the thread.
I would also suggest reading the ROM threads in this forum where you will get a sense of how well the ROM is working ie any major bugs (or not) and then try a few of them yourself and see which one suits your needs best.
i still do not understand why opinionated posts are forbidden but anyway. until this thread gets closed, here is my opinion:
check out miri's rom because it has been very stable for a long time and a day after a new build is available you will get an updated rom.
just make sure that you also flash the latest radio rom.
prior to flashing make sure that you install hspl on your device.
for everything you need (hspl, radio, wm6.5 rom) there is a link in my signature.
Fast becoming a one-to-one Q&A thread
Please try searching & reading

I have a problems with my 6.5 Energy Rom, Blackstone is running really slowly(there are no running apps in background). Is there any options how to set factory 6.1 ROM? If yes could you insert link where to download it?. Than you all..
honestly the wiki is there for a reason, you know, and the wiki thread is even a sticky...not to mention there's a search function too...since you has flashed to a custom ROM, i believe you should know how and where to get those resources that you need to restore to a stock ROM...

kayk why reply if your gunna be sarcastic and offer no help at all? u mite as well just keep your mouth shut!!
and richard you can download the latest official rom for ur region fron the htc e-club
Think the reason, although still not acceptable, that KayK was sarcastic is because this question has been asked many times before. The wiki & stickies are there for this reason.......and of course the most elusive of all, the 'search' function which NO ONE appears to use!!
Is it any wonder that people get annoyed when someone asks the same question for the umpteen time.
I'm not getting at Richard personally, but can I remind everyone to abide by the forum rules
